What do you call these trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

For years we called 67-72 old style chevys, now there are 2 (or three) " old style" chevy truck runs 73-87 (73-80 & 81-87) and 88-98. 99-current What do you call the various runs? I have started to call by year so not to mix up anyone.
Your thoughts?

I have seen them referred to "Custom Sport Truck" or "Sport Truck" Series in a few books/articles.

I for one like that name.

I call mine a b**** or a peice of **** when it dies on the highway. As for the era of the trucks, I refer to them as "Hey look, another truck like mine."

I have heard them refered to as "First Era" or "First Edition"

*Gee_Emm* · 02-20-2003, 12:42 AM

Why would they be called the first era?

BEST TRUCK EVER is what I refer to when talking about them.I think so anyway's. The reason for them calling them the first erea trucks, is because they were the first trucks to have conforts like cars of the same erea. Electric windows, doors, AC, stuff like that. BEST TRUCK EVER
